The RFC is now offering Child Care on Monday-Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00pm. Kids can enjoy games and coloring with UMM student staff members! Kids are welcome to bring games and toys from home. Cost is only $1 per family per day! This option is much more affordable than hiring a babysitter so you can workout. The RFC plans to continue to offer Child Care through the end of March because Court B is reserved in the evenings for UMM Baseball practice.

Restore Lab combines dynamic and static stretching to have a big impact on increasing flexibility and improving performance. Dynamic movement stretches are designed to take a joint and/or muscles through a challenging and repetitive motion, deepening the stretch with each repetition. Dynamic stretching is ideal prior to exercising to prepare the joints for movement and to warm the muscles for optimal activation. Static, sustained stretches are designed to hold a joint/muscle in a potision that is minimally challenging. The focus is on relaxing the body part that is being stretched, allowing the stretch to deepen on its own. Research suggests that holding the position for 30-60 seconds will increase flexibility in the tissue. Restore lab is not yoga. Restore Lab is ideal for sport and functional stretching. In class you can expect to see stretches ideal for runners, rotational sport athletes (golfers, tennis players, baseball players), swimmers & cyclers, athletes who play with lateral movements (basketball, soccer, football players) and finally stretches for your lower back and core. Beginning January 13th, Restore Lab will be offered on Tuesday evenings from 6:15-7:00pm. For a sneak peek, join us on January 4th at 2:00pm!

The RFC is looking towards the future. We are looking for community representatives who would like to participate on our Advisory Council to look at current and future community fitness and wellness facility needs. This would be a long term commitment to meeting 3 to 4 times per year and helping with developing an RFC Master Plan. Please contact Wayne Morford (waynem@morris.umn.edu) with a letter of interest. 626 E. 2nd St. Morris, MN 56267
